The Girl Scout Law – I will do my best to be honest and fair, friendly and helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong and responsible for what I say and do -- and to -- respect myself and others, respect authority, use resources wisely, make the world a better place, and be a sister to every Girl Scout.
